Italian Open: Anisimova Withdraws Due To Wrist Injury; Lucky Loser Ruse Enters Main Draw

WTA Most Improved Player: Amanda Anisimova has withdrawn from the Italian Open owing to a left wrist injury, extending her absence from the ongoing clay-court season. The World No. 6 had been scheduled to face Jelena Ostapenko in the second round on Thursday. Following Anisimova’s withdrawal, lucky loser Elena Gabriela Ruse has been moved into the main draw.

The 24-year-old American has not played a match since the hard-court swing earlier this season. She first pulled out of the Charleston Open in March after sustaining an injury during the Miami Open, before later withdrawing from the Madrid Open because of wrist trouble.

Anisimova’s most recent appearances came at the Indian Wells Open and the Miami Open, where she reached the Round of 16 in consecutive events. Soon after Miami, the American also confirmed that she had ended her coaching partnership with Hendrik Vleeshouwers. "Last year holds so many special moments and achievements together that I will never forget! We picked up some trophies and incredible milestones, but all the laughs and behind-the-scenes moments I’ll carry with me even more,” Anisimova wrote on Instagram.
